Florida Law Regarding Rabies Shots

RE: Florida Law Regarding Rabies Shots Post By hailey g (Guest Post) (07/15/2008) If you have the 3 year shot you must present it proving you have the shot. If you don't you must give you dog or cat a rabies shot one every year or you can get all your dogs or cats taken away and given a ticket worth 500$ or more.

She has the 3 year rabies shot and is good until 2009. Will she need another shot to stay at kennels and if she does, will it hurt her getting another shot? jessica-sabri at hotmail.com Report Spam or Abuse RE: Florida Law Regarding Rabies Shots Post By (Guest Post) (01/28/2008) We are moving to Bradenton. I have been told too that there is no difference between the 1yr and 3yr Rabies vaccine. I get Titers for Parvo and Distemper done annually,no yearly vaccines. They always show my dogs don't need to be re vaccinated. Once a dog has completed its puppy shots,which are a life safer,yearly vaccines only compromise your dogs immune system.Just like us, once we have been vaccinated we have immunity.Unless we go to a foreign country where other disease are. Of course I get the mandatory 3 yr Rabies. I wish Titers was accepted for this. Many dogs have life threating reactions from vaccines. The drug companies are pushing the vaccines. Yet even Vets are now saying too many drugs are being used on our Pets.(including cats) Google Over Vaccination of Dogs. Also Google Prisoners of Greed. Never buy a Pet shop Dog! Please stop puppy mill cruelty!

In Florida, I am not sure. Who would have the definative answer on this? From the laws in Florida, it looks like it all depends on which rabies shot was given and what the directions are on that shot. Who know exactly what the truth is...Does anyone know for sure?

Glenna, the 1 year one is good for only 1 year. Since you had your last one in July 2006 you need to get another one now. But you can get the 3 year one which requires a shot now, in a year 1 booster shot and then you are good for three years. And the 1 year, the 3 year and the booster shot -dosage: 1cc. The reason the 3 year lasts longer is because it's a different 'kill virus' meaning it has different meds.

However,I was told that the 3 year shot is the same shot, same dosage, etc. as the one year. Does anyone know for certain, if it's true I'd rather wait as the hematoma finally went away last month, and his hair has started growing hair back in the spot they gave him the rabies shot July 2006.

It's also a good idea to protect your pet from wild animals that your pet might encounter.

I have never known an area in the US that doesn't have a law requiring Rabies vaccination. It's for the safety of the people who live in the area.

I believe after age 6 months all dogs must be vaccinated against Rabies. It used to be every year, a 1 year duration vaccine only but now there is also a 3 year Rabies vaccine available too for dogs. It costs just a bit more than the 1 years but not 3 times as much. If the vets in your area are too expensive keep your eye out for Rabies Shot Clinics... they are held at Feed stores, Pet supply stores and many other places. They usually charge about 5$ per pet and do dogs and cats. The dogs have to be leashed and the cats have to be in carriers.
